Xu Xiangbei drove towards Jiangcheng First People’s Hospital, he had been incredibly busy these past few days. Every day it was about treating and saving people, or fighting criminals, or just outright battling with lawbreakers. He felt that he had contributed an unknown amount to the peace and harmony of Jiangcheng.

He hadn’t even seen the faces of Gu Xinyan and Gu Xiangyi, let alone returned to Spring Villa or the courtyard.

However, he felt pretty fulfilled, earning money daily. Fighting one lawbreaker could earn him tens of millions or even billions! At this rate, he was on the path to becoming the richest person in Huaxia. The first person to become Asia’s richest by taking down rich second generations—what a grand story.

Of course, that made sense. Didn’t someone say that three percent of the world’s population controls seventy percent of the money? If Xu Xiangbei could take just a small portion of these wealthy people’s money, he would be the richest.

Of course, this is faster money than any business, but you need strength and it can’t last long. It’s like a flood—it comes fast and sometimes goes just as quickly.

It wasn’t long before he arrived at the First People’s Hospital. He originally wanted to check on Ding Keke, but found out that she was already off work.

As he walked to the VIP room, he noticed a woman sitting there. She was wearing a pair of black high heels, black stockings, a dark green skirt, a white mink coat over her shoulders, and blue-black glasses. Beneath the frame were rosy lips; above it was a high nose bridge. Her face was nearly perfect, exuding a mysterious aura.

"You’re here!" Xu Wanqing’s face showed no expression.

"Beautiful lady, fairy, I admit my mistake!" Xu Xiangbei immediately put on a servile look, almost kneeling to beg for mercy.

"What are you wrong about?" Xu Wanqing’s face was no longer so stern and had a faint smile with a mysterious businesslike air.

"There’s nothing right about me, everything is wrong. Would the fairy mind pointing out my mistakes, criticizing me, educating me, taking a good look at where I went wrong!" Xu Xiangbei said with a cheeky smile.

"Alright!" Xu Wanqing gestured a pair of scissors with her hand, staring unflinchingly at Xu Xiangbei’s lower half.

"Let’s forget it then!" Xu Xiangbei felt a chill come from his lower body.

"Why did you stand me up today? Explain clearly. Since I was little, no one has ever stood me up. I’m always the one standing others up. You really have some skill, leaving me hanging here for a day without a word. If I hadn’t called you, were you planning to leave me hanging until next year?" Xu Wanqing looked like she was demanding accountability, with no intention of letting it go.

"My dear, I was wrong, I truly was. But you can’t blame me; I was saving people. You should be grateful that because of your wait, a living life reappeared in this world—what a great thing."

Xu Xiangbei stepped forward, wanting to give Xu Wanqing a shoulder rub, but she dodged it with a quick move.

"Hmm? I can’t understand this, speak clearly, don’t give me these lines!" Xu Wanqing wasn’t taking his sentiment.

Xu Xiangbei could only honestly recount today’s events to Xu Wanqing. After listening, her face was full of disbelief.

"You are so nice to save people for no reason? And your medical skills are that high? The person needed heart surgery, a transplant, was near death, and you could bring them back to life?" Her eyes were filled with doubt, and her beautiful eyes scrutinized Xu Xiangbei up and down as if trying to see through him.

"What kind of talk is that? Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Who wants to watch a living life disappear before their eyes? Besides, who am I, Xu Xiangbei? I’m the embodiment of justice and chivalry, intelligence, and handsomeness stand side by side. Of course, at such a critical moment, I must stand up and be a living Lei Feng. Besides, you see I treated your illness and didn’t charge a penny.

Setting aside all this, if I didn’t have the talent, would I dare to take on such a delicate task? My medical skills, not to mention Huaxia, at least in Jiangcheng, I dare to claim second, no one dares to claim first, as if Hua Tuo were alive."

Xu Xiangbei rambled on, almost boasting himself as the number one in the world.

"Alright, don’t say any more, I believe you. Now I finally know how Master Zhou survived—he was bragged back to life by you!" Xu Wanting felt her head almost swelled, hastily interrupting Xu Xiangbei, it was her first time seeing such a narcissistic person.

"I always speak the truth, never a lie, how can you say I’m bragging?" Xu Xiangbei looked indignant.

"Why do I see a lot of cows flying in the sky!" Saying this, Xu Wanqing deliberately looked up at the sky, her demeanor clearly saying: Who’d believe you, if you aren’t bragging then who is?

"Okay, how do you plan to deal with today’s matter?" She returned to the main topic, looking at Xu Xiangbei with a serious face.

"Of course, scrambled eggs with cold dressing!" Xu Xiangbei spread his hands, looking helpless.

"You..." Xu Wanqing pointed at him, her face red.

"Hey, alright, speaking of business, I see you haven’t eaten yet. How about this, we have dinner together, and then this matter can be postponed until tomorrow, or I’ll do acupuncture for you tonight. But you know I exerted too much strength this morning, my True Qi hasn’t fully recovered yet, it’s better to be tomorrow. But don’t worry, I promise to get it done one hundred percent. A gentleman’s word is one that a fast horse cannot chase!" Xu Xiangbei spoke earnestly, boasting with full confidence, almost pounding his chest.

"Alright!" Seeing him like this, Xu Wanqing couldn’t make a scene anymore, after all, she was asking for help now, and her little life was in someone else’s hands, this was no joke.

"With courage cast in iron and bones like refined steel, aspirations thousands of feet high and vision boundless..." A melody resonated, Xu Xiangbei’s phone rang.

He opened it and saw that it was a call from Qian Duoduo.

"Hello, Xiao Duo, what can you tell Big Brother?" Xu Xiangbei had already guessed the purpose seven or eight times in his heart.

"Big Brother, you’re too disloyal. My dad got better, and you ran off, I hadn’t even thanked you yet!" On the other end, Qian Duoduo spoke in a very gentle tone, full of gratitude.

"What are you talking about, you’re my little brother, saving your dad is a given, besides, I’ve promised you, how could I not do it?"

Xu Xiangbei actually never counted on getting much in return from others. Often he saved people maybe just because of a kind fate, maybe a sensibility, or maybe out of filial piety. Of course, those wealthy big bosses were an exception.

"Brother Xu, there’s nothing more to say, from now on my life is yours. Tell me to go east, I will not head west. No matter the challenge, I’m at your disposal!" Qian Duoduo’s words were full of determination.

"Why say so much? I’ve long considered you a friend, even more, like a brother. Friends don’t need so many words, you called not just to thank me, right?"

"Of course, not just that, my dad wants to invite you for a meal to express his gratitude properly. Do you have time tonight? Could you come to my house?"

"Sure! Sure, just send me your address, I’ll be right over!" Hearing there’s a meal invitation, Xu Xiangbei was more than willing.

"What makes you so happy?" Xu Wanqing, seeing Xu Xiangbei grinning after hanging up the phone, looked at him with confusion.

"Because I have plans for dinner tonight!"

"Are you that poor? Isn’t it just a meal? If you’re short on money, I can treat you!" Xu Wanqing looked at him disdainfully.

"As the old saying goes, ’Cherish every grain of rice as it comes with difficulty; care for every thread as material is hard to come by.’ Frugality is a traditional virtue of our Chinese nation, save where you can, why waste?

Besides, a gentleman loves wealth, but he takes it with a proper way. I saved someone’s dad’s life, they specifically want to thank me, so they invite me for dinner, how could I not eat it? Not eating would be looking down on them, you know? As the saying goes, understanding human nature is literature, understanding worldly wisdom is knowledge, it seems you need more experiences!"

Seeing Xu Xiangbei talk like an elder scolding a kid, Xu Wanqing was fuming. But she found it hard to argue back.
